"I Am Legend" Gets The Boot


Warner Bros wants to turn the 2007 film adaptation of author Richard Matheson's classic horror short story "I Am Legend" into a potential film franchise says Deadline

This means rebooting the property without Will Smith.

The studio is using Gary Graham's spec script "A Garden At The End Of The World," a project described as a sci-fi version of John Wayne's "The Searchers," and have decided to retrofit it for the 'Legend' reboot. There is reportedly enough similarities and Graham was brought in to write it.

Akiva Goldsman, James Lassiter, Roy Lee, Joby Harold and Brooklyn Weaver are set to produce.

The original film grossed $586 million worldwide.
